Fauvette:{fovɛt} – A docile brown and white cow.

About us

Fauvette was established in August 2016 by lifelong friends Philippa Friedman & Jean-Marc Delys. The pair met in London while working in the restaurant industry. Philippa later left the capital and joined cheesemaker Joe Schneider at Daylesford Organic. Jean-Marc has worked alongside cheese wholesaler Simeon Hudson-Evans of Fromage to Age. Both have been guest judges at the British Cheese Awards together with cheese guru Juliet Harbutt.

The business is named Fauvette after a friendly, doe-eyed brown and white cow, on Jean-Marc’s childhood farm in the Loire Valley. Fauvette’s milk was mixed with the milk from the goat herd and transformed into a delicious Valençay style ash-coated pyramid cheese.
